|notes=*This fit has a very weak tank, so beware of belt rats and prepare to warp off when they attack you, or stay close to other mining ships with combat drones and hope that they help out and kill the rats.
*With Electronics III, you could add a second Civilian Shield Booster I, or you could replace the Expanded Cargohold I with a Co-Processor I and put a Small Shield Extender I in the empty mid slot.
*With Drones I and Scout Drone Operation I, you could load one light scout drone for defense.

For new players interested in trying out ECM the Griffin is the ideal starting place on your way up to the Blackbird and eventually the Scorpion. Expect to lose them a lot though, as ECM boats are often called primary by enemy commanders.

Line 44: Line 116:
The Kestrel is a commonly flown frigate in EVE. This is due to its strong PvE capabilities with four standard launchers. It is an excellent choice for Level 1 missions and static complexes up to DED 2. It can be comfortably flown with fairly low skills, primarily due to its ability to 'Range Tank'. i.e.; stay at sufficient range to eliminate or mitigate a great deal of incoming damage. Furthermore, missile systems make for ideal starter weapons as they do not require capacitor energy (so reducing the need for good capacitor skills) and their damage is not affected by such factors as tracking, optimal ranges and falloff. This greatly simplifies matters for a beginning pilot.

|notes=
* The Afterburner allows the pilot to control the range of engagement. It has a basic shield tank to keep the ship intact in those situations where you find yourself in the middle of a group of enemies, such as immediately after using a Warp Gate.
* Variations to consider for this fit include the use of Capacitor Control Circuit rigs to allow more extended use of the Shield Booster, swapping the Small Shield Extender for a Shield Boost Amplifier (would require Electronics V or a Co-Processor) or switching the Overdrive Injector System for Nanofiber Internal Structure. With Electronics IV it is possible to fit an Adaptive Invulnerability Field. However, this is generally not practical as the capacitor simply cannot sustain prolonged activation of this module.
* Missile Projection III is strongly recommended as this should give your launchers an approximate effective range of 24km - this is sufficient to stay out of range of most PvE enemies.
* Approximate ISK cost is 700,000 with the bulk of this cost being for the 'Malkuth' launcher variants. This can be greatly reduced by using Standard Missile Launcher I in their place. However, as 'Malkuth' versions have lower CPU requirements, this change will almost certainly require the use of a Co-Processor in one of the low slots.

Line 51: Line 140:
The Merlin is the most capable Caldari frigate for PvP, and after the recent Crucible changes, is slightly better than the Rifter in terms of damage and survivability. Its unique selling point is the possession of four midslots which are very useful for tacklers. This now has 3 turret slots (previously it had a 2+2 setup), making it a shorter train as a first tackler frigate.

|notes=This heavier but slower tackler makes use of the Merlin's excellent shield tank, with over 3000 EHP against the weakest EMP resistance.  The "recommended" skillset allows fitting of a microwarpdrive in place of the afterburner, if the guns are downgraded to 125mm.  Weapon range is less than 4km without range-boosting skills, so you need to orbit close (watch out for smartbomb battleships).  Choose ammo type to match your target.<br>
Improving your fitting skills further or replacing meta-0 with named modules will free up even more powergrid for better weapons or T2 systems.

In PvP it suffers from a comparatively large signature radius, a fact inflicting all destroyers. This makes it easy to hit it with cruiser sized weapons while it only sports a frigate sized tank.

*With one Expanded Cargohold it will hold enough to clear up virtually all L1 and L2 missions in a single trip. For bigger missions you might have to make multiple trips. Alternatively, you can place all the loot and salvage into a jetcan and come back to pick it up in an industrial.
*With the Cap Rechargers you shouldn't have problem with cap even under intense use. Even if it runs out of cap, it should regenerate very quickly.
